THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION,

Speaking of the Interstate Com.
merce Commission the San Francisco
Bulletin says
ut must be said in relation to the
Commission itself, Notwithstanding
all the time that has been spent in its
completion, that il does not rise very
much above mcdiocrity. Judge Cooley
is perhaps the only broad man in it..
Morrison is essentially narrow. minded
and Anticipated IN his notions. Schoon-
maker of New York comes as the
friend of Tilden. But Tilden is dead
and laid away with his fathers, while
the Pacific States are alive and grow.

The Republicans on the Board are

with all his professed impartlality, the
President had an eye out for rencmi.

An Intelligent Observer.

Edward s. Spring, of the San Fran.
cisco Post, the most active and enter
prising mining editor connected with
the California press, made trip over
the c. & G. railroad last week and had
the advantage of IL personal inspection
of some of the industries which have
sprung up in what was once regarded
as dcsolate irreclaimable desert, USE
less alike to man or beast. His visit
was more particularly to the Inyu
marble quariies and the Owens Lake
soda works, but he also had a view of
some of the mining districts and of the
immense agricultural resources of
Owens Valley, Such visitors are OF
value to the country Mr.. Spring will
be able TO give an interesting and in.
telligent account of what he saw, and
his report will no doubt direct, this

treatment In lead bath as before,
whereby the reduction and separation
of the precious metals are effected du.
ring the continuous working of the
furnace.
1t is claimed that the process may
be applied to any present furnace.
On either side of the base of the fur
mace are two tank reservoirs, which
contain molten lead. The furnace
stack is tapped just above these tanks
and the mixture of precious and base
metals floats over the lead. As the
lead unites with the precious metals
below, shower.bath OF molten lead
is thrown IRON above, making the I'M.
ION more perfect. This molten alloy
of lead and precious metals is used for
the shower-bath over and over again,
by means of force pumps, while the
base metals are foated off. When
then The lead has taken up all the
gold 1t contains, it is very rich indeed,
ton being worth $4,000 to $4,000.
This is the advantage of the process.
No matter what the coalition OF the
ores, whether rich or low-grade, dry
or refractory, the process is the same,
and the same result is reached. And
instead of shipping away an alloy
worth $3.50 ton, the base bullion is
worth 100000.
This, In brief, is the result claimed
for the Potter process. The head

SPARKS AMDIrlON.

Commissioner Sparks has the Vice
Presidential bee in his bonnet and has
written a few letters to New York
politicians to feel his way and find
out what prospects there may be in
store for him for the second place in
the gift of the people. Governor Hill
is the selection for President and Hill
and Sparks Is the ticket which has
lately excited political gossip. Pres
ident Cleveland has an eye upon a
second term and the ambitions OF Hill
have widened the breach so that they
hardly speak when circumstances
bring them together. Commissioners
Sparks feels uneasy about those letters
and fears the political turmoil which
they have occasioned will damage him
IN the estimation of President Cleve
land. The political machinery of both
parties will soon be started for the
campaign of 1SSS.-Er.

The word "mugwump" is derived
from an Indian word "Mucqump" the
name of a treacherous and boastful
little Indian chief who during the days
Just before the Revolution made him
self temporarily prominent in the
negotiations between the whites and
Indians, by pretense Of power which
he did not possess. The little wretch
never did anything but contribute his
name to the slang of the day. The
word has ever since been used with
vuy;ng meanings but always as sig
nsficant of something ridiculous or
degraded. At first it indicated one
who would be described in our more
modern slang as shaving bitten of
nvre than he could chew" in other
words, "a little man in a big place"
This meaning easily changed into
eue expressive of unreliabihty, and
through its various changes since has
retained a shade of uncertainty IN its
definition. Some years ago the word
was applied to politicians who were
party men only so long as their party
gave way to their views. They were
unreliable party men and generally
uncertain as individuals. Recently
the word has grown extensively in use
and range of meaning, until now 1t
carries with it The ideas both of un.
certainty and discomfort. Mugwump
has grown to mean one who is not
sure of his own opinions and is un-
willing to trust the opinions of Others.
AS popularity understood now, mug.
vump rs only half like a Bourbon.
~Thc Bourbons never forget and never
learn" The mugwump forgets. There
are mugwumps from both parties, but
the independent voter who, for rea-
sons sufficient to himself, makes a
choice between candidates need never
fear being classed with these who be.
come mugwumps because their party
would not give them what they asked
for. The independent voter is always
Arm in his convictions, though fire.
quently in error, the mugwump is
only firm in his discomfort. He is al
most convinced that he does not like
bis friends, and is never certain that
he dislikes his eHemies.

it necessary TO discharge most of the

must not be understood from this that
the Hindley is exhausted, but that the

out. The mine has been left in charge
of Jack Bowerman who will direct the

RUSHING RAILROAD FREIGHT.

So great is the alarm felt among
large shippers about the rise in freight
which it is thought will accompany
the enforcement of the Interstate Com
merce Act, says the San Francisco
Post, that they are sending freight
Elst as fast as possible, and every
available car is in demand. The ship.
ments are much larger than they were
during the railroad war Of last Spring,
and all the service is being severely
tested. There is good cause for alarm
for already Pacific Mail freights have
advanced thirty per cent and clipper
rates west bound have gone up $6 n
ton, while no rates will be given for
east bound clipper frelghts more thar.
one week ahead. Producers and ship.
pers are using strong language about
the bungling law which was passed to
cinch the railroads, and is cinching
their customers. Last week II was
stated that the Act would not affect
fruit rates East, but now sever al of the
lines are refusing quotations, all con-
tracts are practically abrogated and
no one can give any definite informa-
tion, nor will they be able to do so
until the commissioners shall have
been appointed and shall have inter-
preted the Act.

Inyo Independent: Some time be
tween Sunday evening and Tuesday
morning last, Michael Heiber com.
mitted suicide. The deceased was a
native of Germany, aged seventy-one
years. During the past fifteen years,
or about that length of time, he
had been in the employment OF Mr.. A.

from Kern county to Owens valley
Heiber came with him. Last sunday
Heiber went from the home of MIR.
Sanger, at Alvord, over to Big Pine;
he drank some and was last seen alive
in the village toward evening. Being
missed, Mr.. Sanger made search for
him on Tuesday morning, and his
body was found near haystack about
half a mile east of the village. He
had shot himself in the mouth, the
ball passing through his brain. De-
ceased was subject to fits Of despond.
ency and had said that he would DIES.
troy himself. Coroner Matlack held
an inquest and the jury rendered a
verdict in accordance with the facts.
Dir. Sanger had the body decently
buried at his own expense, Deceased

THE IRISH QUESTION.

Since the Irish crimes act. so ca1lo1
has gone into operation, an 1risbman
IN Ireland is prohibited from leavinc
MS house after 8 o'clock in the even.
lng' attending mass meeting Of anv
KIND and must have q government nor
NIT to carry arms. A tyranny more
gazing than that which prevails in
Russia Expresses them. Free sneeA,
IS suppressed, the press is gagged; the
oayonet has enforced silence upon all
political questions. The coercion act
has been productive of bloodshed and
violence. 1t has been destructive Of
the peace and good order of Ireland.
The time is not distant when the Tory
party will have its Runnymede, It is
too Infamous to be tolerated by free
people in this age of progress. The
voice OF the oppressed and the blood of
the innocent victims of Mitchellstown
and Ennis will yet be heard and
avenged. There will be a day Of ac
counts when right and justice will be
uppermost.
The argument that semi-militarv
rule is necessary to preserve order
IS baseless. The pretense that there is
danger to peace and order in public
mass meetings or in the discussion of
public questions IS but an excuse for
crimes Of the Troy party.
There is, even in England, very de-
cided influence at work in behalf of
Irish liberty. An enlightened public
sentiment prevails in many parts which
will, at the first elections, make itself
felt in public affairs. The Irish people
have borne with marked degree of
patience the burdens imposed upon
them by the Tory government. That
government cannot resist the sympa-
thy of the civilized world for Ireland.
Its cause is the cause of human lib
erty and right. The more bayonets
that are used to suppress their demand
for justice, the more sympathizers
there will be and the more votes will
be cast for her delivcrance.
O'Brien has been arrested on the
charge of making an incendiary speech.
When Daniel O'Connen was prosecuted
on similar charge and found guilty
an appeal was taken TO the house of
lords and the Judgment of the court
reversed. Mr.. O'Brien is adopting a
course similar that of O'Connell, and
although there is little prospect that a
like result may follow in his case, he
is certainly justified in his action.
Either the Irish people will be re-
duced to complete subsection or such
an overwhelming expression of adverse
opinion throughout Great Britain will
follow the enforcement of the coercion
act as will force the Salisbury ministry
to resign and make way for policy
based on principles of right and JUS
tice. The blood untimely shed at
Mitchellstown is the seed from which
will spring the tree of Irish liberty.
